Alexei walked up to the entrance of the school. The outside grounds smelled of rich earthy soil, a far cry from the tundra he had grown up with in russia. Instead of toting around with an over-large crate full of every belonging he couldn't part with, he contented himself with a large bag he had slung over his shoulder, and a satchel hanging at his side. With a sigh he tugged a little on his robes, still not feeling quite right, however he kept reminding himself the robes would be more than adequate in such a temperate area.
There was an uncomfortable stillness in the air as he began to trudge his way up the stairs, but he reminded himself he was lucky to be able to get into another school after a week into the year. Catching up in classes would be tricky, but Durmstrang didn't seem interested in keeping him enrolled any longer. No matter, he was where he was... Just needed to get in and find out what was what in this school.
He stepped under the arch, pausing a moment to give it a glance, then turned around back the way he came. It was odd seeing so much green... As he stood there surveying the area, he ruffled his hand through his short black hair, taking note of the nearby forest. Someone had told him something about it... Though he couldn't quite remember what. Whatever it was, he wasn't terribly eager to have a picnic in it's depths.
~Hope I'm not interrupting class...~ he thought to himself as he turned around and continued into the school.
